1. The schedule for the conference in Wales has been posted a few places online, so I'm properly googleable. It's making me go :D a lot.
Which is good*, because...
*I don't google myself regularly; I'd googled the guy who's on the panel with me, and for half a second was shocked to see my own name come up in that preview text thing.
2. The airline I was going to take after the conference, to visit![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wicked_g in Denmark, was owned by an Icelandic company. Iceland is bankrupt, and the airline is bankrupt too. Visa wants me to send them proof that Sterling's over before they'll do anything. Excuse me? It's international news. Blogs in Taiwan picked it up, surely an international credit card company would have heard something.
Luckily I bought the super-special insurance from Air Transat (my way to and from the UK), so there's a chance I'll be able to get back to Canada sooner after the conference and not have to live for a week in Gatwick.
3. I have this assignment due Friday, but because of #2 (and some other crap) I'm just going to play Lego Batman for DS (THANK YOUphilthe25th!) and watch QI. SO THERE, ECONOMIC DOWNTURN AND GRAD SCHOOL. SO THERE.
